Trying to find a new home for your clothes and textiles? CHaRM is here to help! We take the used clothes and textiles that are dropped off at our facility and repurpose as much as possible by giving to America’s Thrift Stores. America’s Thrift Stores relies on the donations of the local community to collect used clothing and household items. They resell those items and share their profits with local organizations like Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA). Used textiles that cannot be resold are repurposed into insulation, dog beds or rags.

So far in 2020, CHaRM has collected more than 63,000 pounds of textiles through America’s Thrift Stores.

Kids lost interest in their musical instruments? Bring them to CHaRM and we will make sure that they find a good home! We partner with The Gift of Music Foundation to clean up and refurbish used instruments. The Gift of Music Foundation then takes the instruments and gives them to local children who may not otherwise be able to afford them. The Gift of Music Foundation also uses the instruments in their After School Music Enrichment Programs.

So far in 2020, CHaRM has collected more than 110 musical instruments that have been given to The Gift of Music Foundation!
